Default ARKYM and WALD rear diffusers

hi im looking into buying a diffuser for my car but i cant decide which one ive looked at lots of threads and i have really got to seen to many good pictures alot of the arkym diffusers look very dull and cheap the wald and toms have more of a shine to them , if i could get some upclose ground level rear shots no angle of the wald and arkym diffusers would be great thanks a lot

I'm in the same boat. Toms is OK. To me it comes up to high on the bumper. Looks weird on a light color car. Black or dark gray not so bad. I'm sure fitment is right on. If i was going to get toms i would need to buy the bigger wing to balance if out. To each his own. I like the wald but way over priced. The arkym seems to be the logical choice. Of the pics I have seen it doesn't look cheap or dull at all. I've had a vinyl wrap back there and it looked good but on a 60k car I want something more substantial looking then a sticker. All this stuff is over priced.

I've seen both in person, and both are of high quality carbon fiber and both look great on the F.

Does anyone know how the Lexon is installed? I would rather not make any holes in the bottom of the bumper.

Very true, but sometimes things are just worth waiting for.

Amen! I thought it was well worth it. When I bought my F, I knew I wanted that WALD rear. It just looks that great!

Perhaps this can help. I'm sorry the car is so dirty.
